At Sportspectrum Race Management (SRM) events, participants should conduct themselves in a courteous manner, respecting all fellow participants, volunteers, event staff, and members of the community.  Participants are expected to follow the Rules of Competition outlined below. Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Proper race etiquette is required at all times, including being aware of your surroundings and of announcements and instructions from event officials.

 

Start
Please give yourself enough time to pick up your bib number and enter your corral. Only enter the corral you are assigned to or a slower one, and respect the event staff. Please be respectfully quiet during pre-race announcements and the playing of the National Anthem prior to the start.

 

Headphones
If you must wear headphones, be sure that you can hear all announcements and be extra-aware of your surroundings, including other participants and any vehicle traffic.

 

Mobile Devices
The use of mobile devices for photography or social updates during the event is strongly discouraged, as it decreases your awareness of other participants around you. If you must use a mobile device, be sure that you can hear all announcements and be extra-aware of your surroundings, including other participants and any vehicle traffic.

 

Urination
In accordance with State and City rules and laws, only use the toilet facilities provided by the event and/or open to the public. Please be considerate in portable-toilet lines; don’t cut in line or into another line. Never urinate in the corrals, along the course, at the post-finish walk-off, or in the post-race venue. You risk disqualification and a police summons if caught.
 

Running Courtesy
While participating in the event, don’t run in groups of three or more abreast; wide groups become barriers to other runners. Don’t stop abruptly to drink at an aid station or to tie your shoelaces. Watch where you spit and blow your nose to avoid hitting other participants. If someone running behind you says, “On your left,” move to your right to let the runner pass. If someone says, “On your right,” move to your left.

 

Trash
Our running events are conducted in public places—either city or state parks or streets. Please deposit any trash in the provided receptacles, including at aid stations. Be careful when discarding cups at aid stations so as to avoid hitting other participants.

Q: Is there race day registration?
A: Yes. Race day registration will be at the race site starting at 6:00 a.m. and ending at 7:15 a.m.
 

Q: Is there a time limit?
A: Yes there is a 2 hour time limit. This is about a 20 minute per mile pace.

 

Q: Can I start the race before everyone else and still get my time and place recorded?
A: No. You must start when everyone else starts in order to have a time and place recorded. We do not offer a separate division for those that want to start early. 
 

Q: Can may dog run with me?
A: Sorry but we do not allow dogs on the course.
 

Q: Can I push my toddler in a jog stroller?
A: Yes you can! We just ask that you start in the back of the pack and be mindful that the course is open to cars.

 

Q: Where should I park on race day?
A: There is plenty of parking in the parking lot of the Uptown Shopping Center or you can park at the Pierremont Mall parking lot (just be careful crossing Line Avenue if you park there).
